Kirkpatrick Macmillan, the Scottish blacksmith credited with inventing the pedal-driven bicycle in the 1830s, was born to a family of farmers. His father was named John Macmillan, and his mother was named Margaret Macmillan. Details about their lives are relatively sparse, but they were part of a rural community in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

Kirkpatrick Macmillan invented the pedal-driven bicycle in the 1830s, specifically around 1839. His design featured a crank mechanism that allowed the rider to propel the bike using pedals, which was a significant advancement over earlier designs that relied on pushing with the feet. Macmillan's invention laid the groundwork for the modern bicycle.
Date of Death: 26 January 1878 I have no idea whether or not Kirkpatrick Macmillan dead on 26 January 1878, but I sure that his soul was no longer alive after the failure of demonstration of his velocipede (bicycle) at public exhibition in Glasgow in June 1842.
